This is a bit of an addition to @ZT's thread bellow.
I've been keeping an eye on this since rumours began circulation.
I've been through a lot of pods over the few year's, some very good, some not so.
The
Lost vape Orion was a favourite although it needed a little adjustment.
So These are my, and far more importantly (far more important) my brother in laws.
He has tried unsuccessfully to make the switch to vaping for a few year's. We found the right liquids (firewater No1 & black note) but no matter the set up he just said it was too synthetic and felt wrong.
We came close with both the Orion (best vape and loved the style) and the vappresso osmall (easy to pocket and perfect airflow, he also loved auto draw).
So this little fella hit all the right points visually and function wise.
A small pocket friendly pod device with airflow not just close to a cigarette but spot on.
About the evolv reflex.
Right.
What evolve have done here is to go back to the start. They have aimed this squarely at those looking to quit smoking.
They've used the technology that they started with the DNA go board to create a system that replicates smoking as closely as possible.
You get your reflex delivered in a hard case complete with pod and usb charge lead.
A full and comprehensive instruction manual is included with a guarantee.
It's a bloody complex chip that replicates three different types of cigarettes, lites , regular and what we knew as high tar.The airflow is fixed but at the same level as a cigarette. Draw is automatic and reliable, power is delivered in conjunction with the amount you draw so you get a realistic amount of heat and nicotine delivered again the same as a cigarette.
I'm terms we understand the wattage is around 12w plus or minus.
The battery is small at 750mah and the pods are the obligatory 2ml.
The Reflex and the pods are made by evolv themselves as they have had issue's with quality from other manufacturers in the past they wisely decided to handle the whole operation themselves.
This means that every pod is tested for quality and tolerance pre packaging. You can actually see the test sheet for every pod (and the mod) by scanning the QR code label attached.
The pods have two fill ports on the base, clearly marked as to how they fit. This makes filling a doddle as you can remove both to prevent air locks.
Evolv recommend drying the mod where the pod fits (a secure clip fit rather than magnets) with paper towel between fills although I've experienced no leaks at all.
The coil inside the pod is clearly visible and is of the style you'd make yourself in an rta. Simple single spaced with cotton wick.
A clever trick that will save loads of issues is the REFLEX auto wicks when the pod is attached. No burnt wicks.
The vapour production is again similar to a cigarette, no bro clouds here. The thing that's different is that it's a very fine particle vapour which if combined with a high nic salt juice gives quite a punch. In fact even though this is designed to be used like a cig so a few drags at a time (not as a constant dummy) I've had to use 10mg salts as 20 was way too high for me.
Charging is via usb and quick. Seems to take less than thirty minutes even if run flat (a central led button light gives you your battery level indication as well as cycling through power modes when pressed).
Summation.
This isn't the type of pod aimed at the vape hound looking for a portable version of their home kit.
It's a very clever all in one kit aimed squarely at those who want a one box solution to help them quit.
Can it be a tool in a vapers kit. Absolutely but you need to use it as you would of you still smoked rather than a constant flavour tool.
I adjusted quickly and now use one every time I leave the house.
Pods last a long time. Youll get a couple of weeks from them when used correctly.
This is The piece of kit you get to help that friend or family member quit if they've resisted so far.
Now as for the brother in law, he took this On over Christmas week with.a couple of pods and he used it constantly baring the day he left it at home when going to work.
He asked for baccy for Christmas and estimates he has enough till the end of the month then he has sworn (a first) he will get one, so I've offered to pay half if he comes through.
Fantastic bit of kit.
